However, the suggestions below may help you get started. A memorial resolution does not need to be a biography with, for example, dates of birth or graduation. The bolded words or phrases in the whereas clauses are simply samples of what you might use.  \nBegin with a general whereas statement of loss to the library community:  \nWhereas the American Library Association (ALA) and the broader library community lost a valued member and leader on March 15, 2015, with the death of Norman Horrocks;  \nWhereas the library community lost a strong, forward-thinking leader and generous and knowledgeable mentor on Monday May 28, 2012, with the death of E. J. Josey;  \nAdd one or more whereas clauses about his/her particular library interests:  \nWhereas Judith F. Krug was a tireless and outspoken advocate of the intellectual freedom and the freedom to read;  \nAdd one or more whereas clauses about his/her long-term or significant employment:  \nWhereas Elizabeth Futas served more than 25 years at Nashville (TN) Public Library;  \nWhereas she inspired countless library students and prepared them to become effective leaders;  \nAdd one or more whereas clauses about his/her national library activities:  \nWhereas Ridley R. Kessler served with excellence on the ALA Council and had a life-long commitment to bringing government to the people through the Federal Depository Library Program;  \nAdd one or more whereas clauses about his/her local or non-library activities:  \nWhereas Gordon Conable was an enthusiastic supporter of the Nashville Friends of the Library and the Tennessee Library Association Intellectual Freedom Committee;  \nWhereas Mrs. Cheney served with distinction as President of the Tennessee Alliance of Wizards;  \nEnd with a whereas clause about his/her positive personal characteristics (using his/her full name):  \nWhereas Barbara Gittings’ sense of humor, kindness, energy and graciousness enriched those fortunate enough to know and work with him;  \nWhereas Marvin Scilken was much loved and respected by his family, friends, co-workers, and many students, both in the United States and around the world; and [for next-to-the-last whereas clause]  \nWhereas her true legacy lies in the profound effect she had on the countless men and women she mentored and taught throughout her career, now ,therefore, be it [for the last whereas clause]  \nResolved, that the American Library Association (ALA)  \nEnd with two resolved clauses:  \nThe first resolved clause should recognize her/his contributions and refer to her/him by full name:  \n(1) on behalf of its members, recognizes the significant contributions of Gerald Hodges over the course of his distinguished career and mourns his death; and  \nor  \n(1) on behalf of its members, honors the memory of Lois P. Mills , celebrates her legacy of advocacy for individuals with disabilities and seniors and remembers her service to ALA, the ALA’s Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA), and the ALA’s Reference and User Services Association (RUSA); and  \nor  \n(1) on behalf of its members, recognizes the remarkable achievements of Frank Iacono and gratefully acknowledges his many contributions to the profession of librarianship; and  \nThe last resolved clause should express sympathy for the loss:  \nYou probably shouldn’t list individuals here – except the husband, wife, or longtime companion-for fear of including or leaving out the wrong people.  \n(2) extends its sincerest condolences to his friends at the Newark Public Library.  \nor  \n(2) recognizes with great admiration and appreciation the contributions of Peg Oettinger over the course of her career; and  \nMover’s Name and Cell Phone Number: Larry Romans, 615-322-2838  \nSeconder's Name and Cell Phone Number: Kevin Reynolds, 931-555-5555  \nVersion 3: October 12, 2012  \nSUGGESTIONS FOR A TRIBUTE RESOLUTION ","cbCaipQphP9AhYA0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipQphP9AhYA0","pdf",24858,"English","# Suggestions for a Memorial Resolution\n## A Resolution Honoring Frances Neel Cheney\n## Suggestions for a Tribute Resolution\n## A Resolution Honoring Betty Turock","[{\"question\":\"How should a memorial resolution begin in the library context?\",\"answer\":\"Start with a general “whereas” statement of loss to the library community, reflecting the person’s death and impact on the broader community.\"},{\"question\":\"What should be included in the “whereas” clauses?\",\"answer\":\"Include “whereas” clauses that highlight the individual’s library interests, long-term or significant employment, national and local library activities, and positive personal characteristics using the person’s full name.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the “resolved” clauses at the end?\",\"answer\":\"Use resolved clauses to recognize contributions and honor the person by full name, then add a final resolved clause expressing sympathy and condolences to appropriate friends or colleagues.\"}]","Suggestions for a Memorial Resolution - A Resolution Honoring Frances Neel Cheney - Version 3 - October 12, 2012 | PDF"]
